 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The embodiments described herein are illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements. References to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references can mean “at least one.”
Referring to FIGS. 1-2, a securing structure 20 is used to mount a server 30 to a server cabinet 10. In one embodiment, the server 30 may be a switch or a router, for example. The server 30 comprises a housing 32, in which many electronic components, such as one or more processors, RAM elements, fixed disks, AC to DC power supplies, and the like, are mounted. The server cabinet 10 comprises a bottom board 12, a pair of first supporting posts 14 and a pair of second supporting posts 16. The first and second supporting posts 14, 16 perpendicularly extend up from the bottom board 12. In this embodiment, the bottom board 12 is configured as a square, and the first and second supporting posts 14, 16 are located at four corners of the bottom board 12. Each of the first supporting posts 14 defines a plurality of screw holes 142. Each of the second supporting posts 16 defines a plurality of screw holes 162. Two sides of one end, as a back-end, of the server 30 are respectively fixed to the pair of first supporting posts 14 by two securing structures 20, and two sides of the other end, as a front-end, of the server 30 are fixed to the pair of second supporting posts 16 by angle iron engaging with screws.
Referring to FIGS. 3-4, the securing structure 20 comprises a sliding member 22 slidably connected to the housing 32 and a fixing member 24 fixed between the sliding member 22 and the first supporting post 14 of the server cabinet 10. The sliding member 22 comprises a sliding portion 222, a receiving portion 226, and a fixing portion 224 configured between the sliding portion 222 and the receiving portion 226. The sliding portion 222 extends into the housing 32 and is slidably connected to a sidewall 34 of the housing 32. The receiving portion 226 can receive at least one cable 50 connected to the server 30, shown in FIGS. 9-10. The fixing member 24 is securely connected between the fixing portion 224 and the first supporting post 14 of the server cabinet 10.
When the server 30 is required to be fixed to the server cabinet 10, two sides of the front-end of the server 30 are fixed to the pair of second supporting posts 16, then two sliding members 22 of the two securing structures 20 connected to the back-end of the server 30 are adjusted to make two fixing members 24 respectively engage with the pair of first supporting posts 14, so the server 30 is ultimately secured to the server cabinet 10. The server 30 can be employed to many different types of server cabinets 10 with different sizes via sliding the sliding member 22 of the securing structure 20 relative to the housing 32 of the server 30.
In this embodiment, the fixing member 24 defines three first fixing holes 242 and two second fixing holes 244 respectively arranged in rows and close to two opposite edges of the fixing member 24. The fixing member 24 is fixed to the first supporting post 14 via one or more screws 70 passing through the first fixing holes 242 and screwed into the corresponding screw holes 142. Similarly, the fixing member 24 is fixed to the fixing portion 224 via one or more screws 60 passing through the second fixing holes 244 and screwed into the fixing portion 224. Referring to FIG. 5, the fixing portion 224 defines two screw holes 2242 matching with two screws 60 to be secured to the fixing member 24.
Referring to FIGS. 5-6, the housing 32 defines a through hole 36 formed at one end of the sidewall 34 and used to provide an entrance for the sliding portion 222 being inserted into the housing 32. The sidewall 34 comprises a guiding portion 346 and a positioning portion 37, both protruding from an inner surface 341 of the sidewall 34. The positioning portion 37 is configured between the guiding portion 346 and the through hole 36, and comprises a fixing post 348 protruding inwardly from an inner surface 341 of the sidewall 34 and a screw 38 matching with the fixing post 348, to position the sliding portion 222 to the sidewall 34. The screw 38 comprises a post portion 382, a head portion 384 and a step portion 386 configured between the head portion 384 and the post portion 382.
The sliding portion 222 of the sliding member 22 defines a sliding groove 2222. The sliding portion 222 matches with the guiding portion 346. That is, the guiding portion 346 provides a sliding track for the sliding portion 222. The sliding groove 2222 matches with the positioning portion 37 to limit the travel of the sliding portion 222. Therefore, the sliding portion 222 is slidably positioned to the sidewall 34 and can slide in the guiding portion 346 along the sliding groove 2222.
In assembly, the post portion 382 passes through the sliding groove 2222 and is screwed into the fixing post 348, the step portion 386 is received in the sliding groove 2222, and the head portion 384 is secured on an opposite side of the sliding portion 222 away from the sidewall 34. That is, the sliding portion 222 is limited between the head portion 384 and the sidewall 34, shown in FIG. 6.
In this embodiment, the sliding portion 222 comprises an inclined portion 2224 configured on a free end of the sliding portion 222 away from the fixing portion 224. The inclined portion 2224 has a smaller size relative to the through hole 36, thereby providing an easy installation for the securing structure 20 and the housing 32.
The fixing portion 224 defines a recessed portion 2244 and a magnet 2246 fixed to the recessed portion 2244. The housing 32 is fabricated from metal material. Referring to FIGS. 7-8, when the fixing portion 224 makes contact with the housing 32, the fixing portion 224 is secured to the housing 32 by a magnetic force between the magnet 2246 and the housing 32. In this embodiment, the fixing portion 224 is perpendicular to the sliding portion 222, the housing 32 comprises a fixing plate 39 perpendicular to the sidewall 34, and when the fixing portion 224 is secured to the housing 32, the fixing portion 224 snugly contacts with the fixing plate 39.
Referring to FIGS. 4-5 and 9-10, the receiving portion 226 defines a receiving room 2262 and an opening 2264 configured at one side of the receiving room 2262 away from the fixing portion 224 and communicating the receiving room 2262 with an exterior of the receiving portion 226. The at least one cable 50 passes through the opening 2264 to be received in the receiving room 2262. The receiving portion 226 comprises a body plate 2261 and a stopper element 2268. The receiving room 2262 and the opening 2264 are defined in the body plate 2261. The stopper element 2268 is pivotably mounted to the body plate 2261 and located at the opening 2264. The body plate 2261 comprises a pivoting portion 2266 and a limiting portion 2267 respectively located at two opposite sides of the opening 2264. One end of the stopper element 2268 is pivotably mounted to the pivoting portion 2266, and the other end of the stopper element 2268 is stopped in the receiving room 2262 by the limiting portion 2267. The stopper element 2268 can rotate relatively to the body plate 2261 to be received in the receiving room 2262, thereby providing an entrance for the cable 50 being inserted into the receiving room 2262. The limiting portion 2267 engages with the stopper element 2268 to cooperatively cover the opening 2264
In this embodiment, the body plate 2261 is parallel with the sliding portion 222 and perpendicular to the fixing portion 224.
Although features and elements of the present embodiments are described in particular combinations, each feature or element can be used alone or in other combinations within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
